Since the rise of Docker, it’s not uncommon to hear the following story: our developers, instead of getting VMs from the IT department, get one giant big VM, install Docker on it, and now they don’t have to ask for VMs each time they need a new environment.

it’s good for developers, because they can finally work quickly; it’s bad for the IT department, because now they have lots of unknown resources lying around and it’s a nightmare to manage and/or clean up afterwards.
